But in Pokemon, the main character (you) has no backstory and pretty much no development. But in Avatar, Aang has a backstory, relationships, and lots of struggles. Maybe your thoughts will change when you finish the series.

You can kinda compare Avatar to Pokemon. In Pokemon, most of the attention is on the Pokemon themselves. In Avatar, most of the attention is focused on characters centralized around Aang (except that Aang himself also has some character development, but not as much as others).

Congrats on being the first to recognize this 😂 the reason I did this was to see how many upvotes I could actually get from this. I will delete this post later cause I feel guilty for being a classic redditor lol
